*Toward Palmy Days of Triumph*

It's a mentally sharp day. Prosperity seems in the cards. You sense the best plan for long-term investment. Your job or career is blessed with good influences, plus good will from the top down and from the bottom up. When your skill and your position is appreciated, you brim over with justifiable pride and satisfaction.

People remain somewhat touchy, with the moon still opposed to Saturn, so you can make allowance for that by being low-key when you approach them, giving them time and room to decide on whatever you propose. They may give you a greener light by Thursday or Friday.

You feel somewhat enlivened by praise, even if it is your own praise of yourself, although others are recognizing something admirable about you. In business you are quick and able to see your advantages, grasping them while you can. People are playing cat-and-mouse games, subconsciously or consciously, and that is normal for the human race at this stage when so much of others' motives and desires is hidden from us.

There is less commotion and strife in your headquarters than yesterday. You are poised to be in authoritative command over the details for which you are responsible. This makes you feel palmy and on top of things.

As a general view ahead, I believe we will be seeing more pleasing results of our hopes and plans beginning February 28, in the second half of the Bright Hermetic Epoch, which lasts until April 4. Meanwhile it is more than possible to prepare for those good developments.

You may be aware of someone, successful in the world of business, who learned how to succeed by coming up from adversity. He felt lost in his humble beginnings, but learned how to navigate difficult waters until he arrived at conventional success in a big way. This person may be important to you or provide you with assistance or, at least, inspiration and comradeship.

It is interesting to consider how individual passions affect careers. Some manage to live with much public and financial success while carrying on clandestine affairs they would not want known. This can lead ultimately to loss or early decline. Others vigilantly squelch such longings at a fairly early age and seem immune to failure after that, living long and happy lives.

Considering this in connection with someone known to you might shed light on your own situation.
